musings and busy-ness.

well this week has been l o n g.
with my new exercise get-fit regime, korean class and plentiful workload, ive been stretched in directions that i didn't know exist. this week, shuch's grandaunt passed away so we've been spending a lot of time at the wake and on top of that, shuchie injured his collarbone while playing rugby so we've even made trips to the hospital.
quite an eventful week if anything.
and. ive lost 3lbs.
quite a feat!

despite the packed schedule, however, ive been enjoying myself quite immensely. ive settled into a comfortable -albeit ever-changing- 'routine', exercise in the mornings, work in the afternoons, shuch in the evenings, korean class on thursdays and jess on wednesdays. and other things in between. i like work. amazing, yes i know. but i feel fulfilled, it's really one of the biggest accomplishments of my life i think- bringing an entire magazine together. it is extremely gratifying.

going off tangent a bit, i miss grandpa a lot. being at a wake almost everyday this week has triggered a memory that lays dormant in my heart. i miss him, still can't believe his gone. i can still remember the feel of his thick, rough fingers, his toothy, cheeky grin, his round, tough belly and his delicious, fat pancakes. he's with me everyday, everywhere i go. but he's so far away, i miss his eyes, his shouts, his hugs.

ul ji ma-ra ul geen weh oo rar. (don't cry, why are you crying?) -one of grandpa's favorite karaoke hits.
